Is the wear factor in total joint replacements dependent on the nominal contact stress in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene contacts? (2004)
Journal Article
Vassiliou, K., & Unsworth, A. (2004). Is the wear factor in total joint replacements dependent on the nominal contact stress in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene contacts?. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 218(2), 101-107. https://doi.org/10.1243/095441104322983997

The exact dependence of wear factor on contact stress, load and apparent contact area is much disputed in the literature. This study attempts to solve this dispute. Pin-on-plate studies of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene against stainless st...
